for a while I wasn't taking life as seriously as I should have, and this afternoon I got a call from collections.

I'm taking care of the matter now but I wish I would have much earlier.

I almost went to jail because of my negligence.

That's why I'm so keen to finish my software studies so I can finally get my dream job. My first degree wasn't enough experience wise so I needed to learn a few more things. I've already had a couple of job offers but I really just want to wait until I'm done. I need to take my life somewhat seriously because I don't want to waste time, I've partied many, many times from 14 to 24. The last couple of years has slowed down due to my health so that's another thing I need to manage. I agree that a balance is needed. It also depends on how old you are and whether you've had time to let loose.

I think it also depends on your personality, goals, etc. Not everyone needs the fancy job, the kids, the car, the house. It took me many years to decide what I want to do and I have experience in multiple fields which gives me more options. If you're passionate about what you're doing in your life, you are most likely doing it right. Having different goals from others doesn't mean your path in life is any better or worse than other people.
